I want to publicly thank two of our city employees, Paul Lord and Kurt Heine. While reading our gas meter, Paul thought he smelled gas and reported it. A pin-hole leak was found on the city side and within two hours the pipe was replaced.

And even though we don’t like to see trees cut back, the tree trimmers, Michael Miller and Franklin Tyndal, also need to be recognized for the very dangerous work they do to keep limbs out of the power lines.

To the editor:
Levy County residents can directly affect their families, neighbors, schools, businesses, property and our pets safety when we vote for the critical position of Sheriff.
The Sheriff should come with academic training w/certification and a record of field, administration and correction experiences and build on Sheriff Smith’s legacy. The candidate who excels in knowledge, training, experiences, and integrity is a proven leader and the current Director of Law Enforcement for the LCSO.

To the editor:
I loved your column. I also paint and would love to see some place where we could display our work and possibly sell some.
We used to have a yearly art show at the Women’s Club. We need something. I would be willing to provide some sweat.
Carolyn, you have much improved our paper and appreciate your love of the town.Joyce Hinkle

To the editor:
My name is Betty Smith Douglas and my late husband, Pete Smith, was the chief of police in Williston for five years and served as the chief deputy sheriff of Levy County for 27 years.
The young men of our family have made their careers in law enforcement following in Pete’s shoes; in honor of him and to continue his work and love for the counties in which they have served.
